The Blyth Standard, 1978-03-01, Page 1WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 1978 BLYTH, ONTARIO, PRICE: 20 Cents Volume 88 - No. 9 ALL SET TO ROLL — Scott Baer was ready to tackle the 26 mile poker rally in Auburn but he needed a driver. Scott was among the 170 participants in the run. Proceeds were for the Abuurn 125th birthday. (Standard Photo) Public support claimed by both Both sides say they have public support, in the current dispute over contract negotiations between Huron County teachers and the Huron County Board' of Education as the teachers continue with their strike and the board continues with their lockout against the teachers, John Elliott, of Blyth, chairman of the Board said he had no comment at the present time on negotiations, but that that could change at any time. He said the board didn't know of any tutoring classes that would be made available for students who arc out of class but that course material is available from the principal's offices, Asked whether he felt the strike was harmful to the students, he said, "Certainly 1 think any strike is harmful to any sector but the innocent party in this case happens to the students," As for support for the board's position in the strike from the ratepayers he said he can only get the personal observation from each trustee and, "by .and large the support from the ratepayers is there," he said. Meanwhile, Shriley Weary, negotiator for the teacher's federation, said they've made no formalized plans for negotiating. "We're still willing to meet with the board if they're willing to meet with us. There have been no formal requests for negotiation" she said, Will the strike and, lockout be harmful__ to the students? "I suppose if it goes on for a long period of time it will, but at the moment, I don't thinkthere should be any real problem,," Mrs. Weary said. As for support for the teacher's position in the strike she said it seemed to vary from area to arca, Blyth groups get Wintario funds Two Blyth grants were approved for proceeds from the Ontario Lottery. Grants totalling $13,438 have been approved for 10 projects in Huron County.

The paretits didn't get any details on how the closing will save the board money though because committee chairman John Henderson said those facts will come out at the board's March 6 meeting since a committee can't give 'information to the public before it's gone to the board, He told the meeting that his committee had planned to meet «ith parents to discuss the 'recommendation that it's making to the board: taht WPS students be bused to Seaforth Public School and that SPS Grade 8's attend classes in Seafoarth District High School; beginning in September, but that the par ents called a meeting first. "Things have come along faster than we thought they «uuld", said Walton arca trustee Don McDonald. "Our committee is quite a bit at ,fault because of poor public relations." Most parents learned of the proposal to close Walton School by word of mouth, John Elliott, the board chairman who is a trustee for Morris and Blyth assured parents as did Mr. Henderson that the March 6 board meeting will not sec the final vote on the future of the school. The parents will send a delegation to that board meeting. "My personal opinion is that the committee should look at boundaries alone at the present time," Mr. Elliott said. Displace Portables "First we should displace the portables we're renting before getting rid of physical facilites we already own," the chairman said. ll' McKillop students had gone to Seaforth seven years ago and left Walton School as it was, the school would now have 79 students from Grades 1 to 8 and 11 in Kindergarten in a four room school, Mr. Henderson told the meeting. "i agree Walton has a dandy little set up but it can't last because there's room in IN Seafoarth . It's as simple as that," the longtime trustee said, "A four room school today is as obsolete as a one room was seven years ago.'' A standing vote showed parents at the meeting were unanimously it favour of leaving both elementary schools as they aro now.

We should all be realistic, The tourist industry is one of the main stays of any area and Quebec is no exception. Whatever the media tells you, the people are just as friendly and helpful as here, When directions are needed and the informant replies in French they quickly change to English when they see the blank look appear on your face. One elderly gentleman asked me in French if I spoke French and I replied, in French, that I did • not. Then in perfect English he asked me "Why Not?" I was stumped, The French language is only used to any extent in Quebec and to learn the language and not travel anywhere to keep it useful would be a waste of time. But on the other hand to learn another language opens new horizons and enables you to learn more about your fellow Canadians. Quebec is a beautiful old city and when visiting inside the old walls of the fortress you really feel that it is worth the bitter argument to preserve it all. The language is just part of the great cultural heritage of Quebec. The best way to understand the people is to get out your phrase book and visit la belle province and see what they are really about, While skiing in Lac Beauport we met a couple from Connecticut who asked if we spokeFrench. To their dismay we didn't and they were as much bothered by that as we were when we arrived. For cross country skiiers the area we visited was super. If you learned to ski around Blyth area and go to Quebec for skiing you had better practise before on so some gentle slopes before leaving. The cross country ski area is generally situated on the side of high rolling hills, The trails are winding and take you for a merry ride on the back 'of your skiis it you are not careful. Fortunately the weather was sunny and we attempted to spend most of the first day tackling the intermediate rated slopes, I hesitate to admit that I did fine until about one hour before we decided to call the whole day off, That last hour saw me skiing down steep slopes and taking a short flight over a bump in the trail and landing on the back of my right ski and finishing the trip on my bottom. If 1 saw a slope too steep to tackle at the speed 1 was going I would merely grab the nearest tree and stop myself with a mininiuni of bark breaking off in my arms. By the end of the day I was ready for that advertised sauna, and swim. The 'food was excellent and the bed was soft after a hard day on the slopes) That is our reason for coming home a day early. To rest, After a workout of several days at that pace I needed a vacation from my vacation. Now that I am back at the old typewriter I heard of a few tidbits you might be interested in. The Blyth Centre for the Arts is holding a cross country ski-a-thon, If you can ski then gdt 'yourself a sponsor or two aid enjoy the day. If you don't ski then just enjoy the fun and sponsor someone for the distance lof 8 - 10 kilometers, All funds will go to the Blyth Centre for the Arts, Another item that causes concern is the issue of new 14c stamps on march 7. This is to be used for domestic class mail. The proposed new rate increase ,vill be effective on April 1, 1978. So if you have any letters to write you have only one month left to take advantage of present prices. Now doesn't that make you shudder? Thank Heavens it didn't come before Christmas. Another item to look into is a benefit dance being held at the Brookside School Saturday for the latest fire victims, All proceeds will go to the Menary family of R.R.2, Auburn who lost everything last week in a sudden blaze. United sees quilt completed Blyth United Church was the scene of many activities during the past week. "The Quilters" completed the quilting of another quilt on Monday and Tuesday. On the previous Monday, a dozen ladies put down their needles long enough to join other ladies and participate in a General U.C.W. meeting and hear Mrs, Wittich present a most informative program on Christian Education. The church membership class niet Monday at 7:15, The ladies Bible Study and Prayer Group gathered Tuesday morning and the Tyro boys had their regular weekly meeting Tuesday evening. On Wednesday after school, the Explorer Girls finally received their first stars for this year. Their scripture was taken from James 1:19-25, which contains their motto, but they used a new Translation. Games and lunch completed this meeting. Their 3 previous meesings had been a series of Mission studies on the Caribbean, arid how we can help build bridges of love isntead of fences of hate, Later on Vlie'dnesday, the C.G.I.T. held their regular bi- monthly meeting. At the same time the Bible Study group was proceeding with plans for the Crusade to be held April 30, May 1 & 2, and The Evening Unit of the U.C.W. was observing how Mr, Thomson of "Looms & Leather" makes a key case. This group also made further prepar- ation fpr their annual garage sale, bein gheld again this year at the Arena, May 6. The current 4-H Club involves. several meetings when the 3 Blyth Clubs meet together, necessitating a Meeting place larger than a home. The church auditorium was the scene of one such meeting on Thursday evening. The topic -making better use of h,cisure time through crafts, photography. indoor gardening, ceramics, dther 4-H clubs, etc. There were choir practices Friday at 7:45 P.M. for Seniors, Saturday at 10: for Juniors and 10:30 for Intermediates, All are now preparing special Easter music. We again welcomed numerous Londesboro worshippers Sunday morning. Mr. Earl Caldwell and Mr, Ralph Caldwell greeted everyone as they arrived. Mr. and Mrs, Chris Dann ushered. All joined in a hymn - sing at the beginning of the service, Mrs. Larry Bolger was in charge of Junior congregation. Mr. Albert Wasson took the solo parts of the anthem rendered by the choir, Mr. Wittich's sermon topic was "A Living Faith", chosing his text from 11 'Timothy 3: 1 - 5. To say "Thank you" to choir members, Sunday School staff and other leaders, the U.C..W. entertains all these persons once a year. This dinner will be this Saturday, Mar. 4. at 6:45 P.M. Rev. Dan Sargeant will be the speaker. Join Us On Our Anniversary Texmade Broadcloth 45" Perma Prest- $1.39 y .

We suspect that it has always existed here if the treatment of Canadian Indians and Inuit is any example, but the fact that our immigration policies and the treatment of non-whies in our big cities is. becoming cause for concern has brought it out in the open. Racism is indefensible yet almost universal. It is based simply on the belief that one race, color or creed is superior to any other. It is bigotry, plain and simple. It is also' illegal, although the law in this country is too often not enforced. There is a theory being expressed with frightening frequency that the victims of racism deserve it. After all, this antiquated mode of thinking says, these people came here from another country because they thought Canada was a better place than the one which they were leaving. Therefore, these bigots assert, they must be prepared to accept with grace all the insults, abuse` and downright 'discrimination that is tossed at them because that is the way others "had to make it" in Canada. The non-white, the immigrant, the minority should be humble and preferably stupid and should show their gratitude for being allowed into this nation of freedom and equality by accepting racism. There is a cure for racism but it requires stern measures on , the part of our politicians, police, churches, schools and all other institutions of society who must declare uncomprisingly that racism is unacceptable, illegal and will be dealt with severely. Politicians and police must enact and enforce rigidly the strongest laws possible in a democratic society against these such disgusting practices. They must begin by rooting it out in their own. arenas. But the molders of opinion, the consciences of society have an even deeper responsibility because racism is not something people are born with. One rarely sees it among children..Racism is an acquired attitude, acquired from ' parents, teachers and acquaintances. The churches and schools must make it quite clear that, in the eyes of God and of society, all men and women are created of equal worth and have the right to equal treatment. Anything less is an attitude of mind and emotion that is totally wrong.

Recently I talked to a farm machinery agent who said they just had to stop buying butter for it was too expensive, How in heck does he expect to sell a new tractor to a dairy farmer if there is no (Continued on Page 5) Quebec City By Keith Roulston TORONTO, 1984--A huge convention of clergy from across Canada today decided 'to form a union. The 3,000 delegates from all faiths agreed by an overwhelming vote to join the International Brotherhood of Rabbis, Priests and Pastors. By a much narrower margin the delegates decided to proceed with calling a strike unless their demands for a "fair and just settlement" are met by the various church organizations. The decision was not made without a good deal of heated debate. FAther Arthur DuMaurier argued that striking to seek more money was against all the teachings of the Bible which speak of poverty. His argument was countered by Father Richard O'Sullivan who said that it was all very well for Jesus to talk about giving up all worldly goods but he didn't have a wife and five kids to feed. "Or have to pay$2.00 a gallon for gasoline for the car," added Rabbi Abraham Plaut. "Or keep up payments on a cottage in Muskoka" argued Rev. Petra Hemplemeyer. But, claimed Rev, Andrew McKenzie, "it wouldn't be dignified for the clergy of the nation to go on strike. People look up to us. We must set an example," Rev. McKenzie was quickly branded as backward and not with the times by younger members of the clergy, "People don't look up to us anymore," said Father O'Sullivan. "They see us as suckers, working away for a pitance while everyone else gets a good wage." Yes, Rabbi Plaut argued, why should the clergy be paid less than teachers, or doctors or engineers, or even garbage men, "We have many long years of expensive education and work long hours," he said. "Why everybody else I know gets time and a half for working Saturday but that's just supposed to be part of my job." Rev, Hemplemeyer said that long ago other professions stopped worrying about people looking up to them and worried abo.ut looking out for themselves. Teachers, she said, have been striking since the mid -seventies. Doctors got higher fees by threatening to move enmass to Arizona and even farmers, even farmers, she said, had finally learned to organize in 1980 and in a, massive strike 1984? brought the nation to its knees, Today, she said, people know how much they need food and farmers now have a yearly average income of over $100,000 just slightly behind other important segments of society such as hockey players and nightclub singers. "And where are ministers in the pay scale," she asked rhetorically," just behind encyclopedia salesmen and just ahead of shoehsine boys, though topless shoeshine girls get far hinher wages." Father DuMaurier said he felt that the clergy should be above materialistic desires. But Rev. Hemplemeyer quickly replied that she wasn't materialistic. Afterall, she said, "I'm not after one of those new personal hovercraft everybody else has. I just want to be able to afford a plain old Cadillac. Why I had to send my husband out to work last year just so we could afford to keep up the payments on our new wall -sized colour television screen." Rabbi Plaut agreed, saying that he had to work nights at a bagel factory to be able to afford to take a winter vacation in the Virgin Islands. Why he only had a month's vacatin, he said, and everyone else had two months. An attempt to come up with a compromise solution was proposed by Sister Mary Louise Dickert who suggested that the clergy should go on a work to rule campaign. "We would continue to perform the last rights and burials since these arc essential services," she said, "but refuse hospital calls and weddings. We could have a slowdown campaign during confessions. That should make people guilty enough they'll beg us to take more money." The compromise failed, however, by a vote of 1,875 to 1,100. The strike will take place during Hblly Week unless a solution to the impasse is reached, That solution, however, seems to be a good way off. A spokesman for the,Anglican Church of Canada said his church had agreed to join forces with the Roman Catholic Church, the United, Presbyterian and other Protestant churches and the Jewish heirarchy (only the Moslem church is not joining the allliance) to present a united front against the demands. "We simply cannot afford to pay these outrageous demands," he said, "I feel very sorry for the parishioners of these various churches who are being used as pawns by the clergy. It may do irreparable harm to their spiritual well-being," Meanwhile a spokesman for Prime Minister Trudeau who is off skiing in the Andes, said that the Prime Minister has no plans to intervene in the strike. "The state has no place in the pews of the nation," he said. To the editor: (Continued from Page'4) market for dairy products. Secondly 1 overheard a high school teacher and his wife (who also teaches and have no family) saying they spent $150 a month on groceries which they complained was far too expensive. Just peanuts compared to what their take h ome pay would be (about $2500 a month. They can't afford butter either). Net income for 1977 farmers was down 13% and is expected to drop a further 19% in 1978. That's 32'Vo less, while everyone else elses rose last year and again this year. Blyth is supposedly the centre of a rural community - almost. dependent on arca farmer's dollars. Therefore one would expect tit for tat. Yet in Blyth to buy a cup of coffee a sub stitute is used instead of cream or a similar dairy product. ,As a dairy farmer it burns your rear end when there is a surplus of milk. 1 wonder do they use Imported Australian Beef? It may not sound like very much milk in a cup of coffee but every drop fills the bucket. Take a second look. What would Blyth b c like if area farmers bought and sold elsewhere - in these new shopping malls and from other arca suppliers etc? After all,the woollen mills and their lune products along with the Old Steam Threshers Reunion with their great showing put Blyth on the neap. A great deal of credit should be given to a former publisher of this paper Keith Roulston for his efforts of trying to convince the non farming community that it is a two-way street. I ant not trying to tell you how you should run your business but remember Blyth without farmers your a nobody. You scratch our backs and we will scratch yours but we won't scratch any lower. Jim Hallahan Dairy and Beef Farmer Readeris shocked I ant a faithful reader of your newspaper, which 1 enjoy very much. However, I was, as a animal lover, extremely shocked when I read the enclosed notice (Dogs running at large will be shot). Perhaps at your convenience you night pass this along to your Village Council, who perhaps might be able to give me a reasonable explanation for such drastic measures. Lydia E. Cameron 186 Cortleigh Blvd. Toronto M5N 1 P5 Council should be more reasonable Mixed feelings came over me upon seeing a startling notice in your paper (Feb. 15, 1978) regarding stray dogs..The notice posted by the Blyth Council stated that "...Dogs running at large will be shot". Even though I fully appreciate the concern Council and many citizens have regarding the nuisance some dogs can be when they are not taken care of properly by a few ignorant citizens, there are some very serious questions to be considered. 1. Does Council honestly intend to give the Animal Control Officer the power to shoot a stray dog? 2. If this is the intention of Council, then the safety of the citizens of Blyth must be seriously considered. Would this action also give licence to others to shoot a dog, claiming that the Animal Control Officer shot it? 3. is shooting an animal, especially a dog, humane? This question is very important, and unless the officer can insure that every shot will be accurate to kill the animal instantly, then other methods must be uscd. 4. What about the numerous cats who can also get into garbage cans and cause havoc in the village? if the notice was posted in order to shock people into consciously paying attention to the whereabouts of their pets, then Council has been successful, but only to those persons who are not or are seldom guilty of the noted infraction, The persons the notice is aimed at will either not have read or seen the notice or will laugh at the threat, knoivitig the possible risks involved. A more reasonable solution and humane one is this; When a 1xtrticular dog has been found and is classified as a stray a maximum of three times, and after informing the owner of the consequences of the infracion, the dog should be taken to the veterinarian where an injection would be given putting the dog to sleep. The cost of this action, of course, must be borne by the dog owner in their annual property taxes. This way the. cost hopefully will leave out those citizens who faithfully take care of their pets. Finding the owners of most dogs will be easy if all are licenced and tagged. Something must definitely be done to reduce the nuisance which dogs'can make if 110 control is used by these respective owners. But certainly if Council is sincere in its concern, "something must be done" must mean more logical and reasonable methods. K. D.

It'sA BUYERS MARKET at WIGHT TAYLOR pro. 13 Main Street Seaforth Phone 527.1750 Ontario NOK IWO Chev Olds Crowd at Walton (Continued from Page 1) the 7th of McKillop suggested the board close SDHS and send all the high school students to Clinton rather than interfering with the two elementary schools, Another parent, Susan Wheatley, also of McKillop, asked Mr, Henderson why the two empty classrooms at SDHS couldn't simply be closed off, "Then they cold be opened again when this great enrolment from WPS. and SPS gets to high school age." Quality education Several parents suggested that the quality of education that grades K through 3 receive at WPS more than make up for the lack of a library, gyne and other facilities that arc available in Seaforth . Other parents asked the trustees for the economic information that Mr, Henderson said justified the closing. "We're ratepayers and have a right to know the costs," said Laverne Godkin of McKillop. Since there are no empty classrooms at either WPS or SPS, Larry Wheatley of McKillop said "You'll have a hard time selling me on the economics of this." Another parent, Don Pletch of Seaforth r confirmed with board members that SPS would have 54 kindergarten students next year if WAS was bused to the town school. That's two kindergarten classes and would mean a third if just one more student moved to the area since 27 is the largest number allowed in one K class, Mr. Pletch said. "There's a chance students might move out too," Mr, Henderson said. "I think you're taking a big chance closing a school," replied Mr. Pletch. Betty • Beuttenmiller, of Seaforth, spokes person for a group of parents of SPS Grade 7 students suggested the board look at changing school boundaries, "That's what we're trying to do now," Mr. Henderson, who represents Seaforth and McKillop said, Have a say Do parents have a say in this decision, Mrs. Beutten miller asked and was told byMr, McDonald, "we get a pretty good idea what your thinking is by coming here tonight." 'In answer to questions from ratepayers Tom Stevenson of Grey and Joan Beuerman)trustees) said the WPS building would be offered to other boards and local governments before it was sold and that WPS teachers would not lose their jobs. "They'd go to ' Seafortht if WPS was closed," trustee McDonald said but he added "we'd be remiss if we went against Walton School, Seaforth DHS isn't down that badly," "Seven years ago when the schools closed it was going to be cheaper, 'we all know how it went" said McKillop councillor Ralph McNichol, who also acknowledged that the board members are under great pressure to make cuts. "I hope they can get enough pressure (locally) to hold th ings as they are," Former trustee and boar d chairman Wilfred Shortreed, who chaired the meeting suggested the board might have to revamp all its boundaries, perhaps drawing a circle around each school and letting students attend where they are closest. All the facts about enrolment in all county schools should be available for parents to look at Trevor Smith of Waltot suggested. 'Then they can se' where the nrohlems arc."

It seems that some people like you think there's nothing wrong with ripping off Canada's Unemployment Insurance pro- gram. "All we did was fail to report a little extra income while getting UI' With that sort of behaviour you could be charged with a criminal offence. Isn't it just like shoplifting or theft? Cheating on Unemployment Insurance is stealing from your neighbours, friends, fellow employees, employers, and the Government of Canada, all at the same time. And not being avail- able for work when you're getting UI is abuse, pure and simple. "How did you ever find out?" Unemployment Insurance has almost 500 full-time trained claimsinvestigators on staff, And, like'any modern organization, we're using new data-handling techniques to their best advan- tage, We match up Records of Employment with claim records. The claims investigator may be alerted by an agent at the Unemployment Insurance office, or by our central fact-finding computer system. If there's evidence of abuse or fraud, the investigators will make a recommendation for action to either the UI agent or legal counsel. "Well, what are you going to do with us?" Depending on the serious- ness of your offence, you may have to pay an administrative penalty. Or, you could be charged in a court of law under the Unemployment Insurance Act or the Criminal Code of Canada. Conviction means a criminal record. And benefits wrongly ob- tained must be paid back in full. In any case, it's not very pleasant. We're not in business to prosecute people. Avoid this by dealing with us as fairly as we try to deal with you. The people of Canada should not be cheated by an irresponsible few. For your sake, please play it straight with us.

Constable Wilson has been with the Goderich Detachment for 10 years and it is his duty to speak to the 27 different schools in H uron County twice a year on safety and Crime prevention. He showed a' film to the W.I. Members entitled "Zenith 50,000", which was very informative. The film shows how the average citizen can assist the police by jotting down strange license numbers - by marking small appliances or any valuable items with an invisible pen, by securely locking cottages and removing small appliances while the cottage is empty, by taking keys out of car and locking the car while it is left unattended. If a person has a reason for calling the police about something he or she believes is not in order, he or she should call "`Operator" and ask for Zenith 50,000 for help. After the film many questions were asked by the members and Constable Wilson was very helpful with his answers.

I'm referring to the general decency shown by the press and politicians, neither of them noted for this quality, in the Francis Fox affair. in case you've already forgotten it, Mr. Fox, a brilliant young cabinet minister and Solicitor General of Canada, confessed he had committed a minor peccadillo and resigned from the cabinet. He had forged the name of her husband to a paper permitting an abortion for a married lady t‘rith whorl he was, apparently,, on more than speaking terms, he was caught when another lady wrote the prime minister and squealed on him, Mr. Fox, a Rhodes scholar, proved once again that you can have a lot of brains and still he a dummy. He not only conlmilttcd forgery, he committed adult .cry. And he seems never to have heard of birth control., That's all right. 'There arc a good many dummies among our illustrious leaders, and always have been. Most of the others just haven't been caught. But what was rather startling about the whole business was the restraint practised by Fox's opponents in politics, by the press, and by the public in general. Nobody went for his jugular, or that of the government, which is astonishing in these times, when sympathy. compassion, and (ICCCney seem to be going by the board. 1 -lad it happened in Britain, the tabloids 1tinu1d have had a field day, and the poor man 'would have been chased out of the cabinet. out of parliament and probably right out of the country by the sheer weight of the scavenging that ‘+'ould have taken place, But no, not here. Political foes expressed sympathy, editorials reminded us that we all have a skeleton or two in the closet, and the head of the United Church wrote Fox a letter hoping that "there is enough grace and understanding in this country that you will not have to live under the cloud." Such forbearance. A generation ago the elan would have been howled out of the office. Not so very long ago. as some elderly 'Torics renieniber. a nuns her of cabinet ministers of that denomination were smeared rather, thickly for cxhanging honmots with once Gorda Munsigncr. a German lady with a shady past. What in the world has come ovcr.us? Why this sudden benevolence toward a fellow human being? Is 11 some sort of midwinter madness that has crept sneakily into our dour Canadian puritanism? Or is the whole thing a crafty Liberal plot to snatch headlines and induce sympathy among the women on the country? First Margaret bogs off and leaves that poor, dear man with three boys to raise. Now Francis, with one swell Poop, reveals that even a cabinet minister is capable of passion, If this is the case, what in the world is aloe Clark going to do to counteract all this free publicity, before the election campaign begins? 1-iis wife is staying honk and behaving herself, and his own past is impeccably dull. My suggestion to .100 and the 'torics, for what it's worth, is that they start looking around for some really rotten people as potential cabinet ministers. Nhatthcy need in then' anxious ranks arc a sex deviate 01' two , a couple of guys who served time for armed robbery, and a few ladies who were formerly happy hookers, A jam of tarts, as it were. Toss in a child barterer and someone who snatched underwear off clothes lines. and they'd run the. Liberals right off' the front pages. Is 11 true that \Vc all have a skeleton in Dur closet, something that would be humiliating were it exposed to the avid public cyc? Maybe there are a few lofty souls with a clean slate, but 1'd he surprised if there were enough of them to form a hockey team. Come on now, gentle reader. Cast your mind hack over your life, and take a close look into those dark corners you have managed to almost forget. Have you never picked your nose when nobody was looking? Have you never, ever, smelled your own armpits in similar company? Have you never helped destroy a reputation by repeating gossip? Have you never done a cruel thing or a' 1110811 thing in your life? Have you never got drunk and made an ass of yourself. Never said a bad word? .Never hawked and spat a gob when nobody was around? Never emitted air from an orifice sneakily? Well, good on you, as we say in Austrailia, if you haven't. You must be under six months of age, and even infants can't quality on all counts. I could probably count on my toes the people 01 this country who have not lied, cheated, stolen. coln11111tted adultery at least in the head. worshipped the graven image known as a car, or failed to honor their Lather and mother., at some time.

The sessions were so successful that another one was held in the fall to determine if group wished to continue, and they have been meeting monthly since that time. The regular group has asstt.med' responsiblity for programming, but Mr, Dickinson and Ms, Carter continue to offer organization and advice, At present, Conestoga and CAS continue to sponsor the Etroup. Regular meetings are scheduled until May. About 20 people attend the meetings where small group discussions are sparked by a speaker, a film or presentation. The participants who are mainly couples, find the sessions a growth and sharing experience - between themselves and others in the group.

Mr. Hannam explained the OFA policy on the property tax reforms being proposed by the Ontario government. Mr. Hannam and Bill Benson, 2nd vice president of the Federation went over the history of tax reform which started in 1975 with the proposal that government pay 100% of the taxes and a lien be put against the land and be payable by the farmer if the farm is taken out of .productivity in the following ten years. The Blair Report came next and suggested that there were too many uses for tax funds. it suggested propety tax be used for land expenses and people tax for people services. A long term tax solution would sce the removal of education tax 01 property and would involve reform in income tax, property tax, sales tax and corporation tax. Everything would have to be assessed and redivided up. Thi: would take years, Mr. Hannam said." Until people sesrvices are taken off of property tax there will remain many inequities said Peter Hannam. Therefore the OFA has suggested a short terns alternative until that time. The OFA wants farms assessed on productive value determined by the gate to gate sales. This land (farmland and buildings) defined sa productive would then be legislated as such and tax exempt. The municipality would then take a mill rate for the land total land declared tax free and submit a bill to the province for the taxes. With this proposal the farmer is not identified with the farm land. One cheque to each municipality would cut costs, the OFA head said. Having the land legislated as tax exempt would make it free from being changed by the whim of the government. The farm residence would be taxed just like urban homes with consideration made to location and services. The Rural Ontario Municipal Association assessment department can produce productive values for all farms and can be brought into place as quickly as market value assessment. Bill Benson told the crowd. Nova Scotia and some of the U.S. states have already made farmlands and buildings exempt. Mr. Benson said "As long as I pay taxes like eery other householder that's acceptable. Tax exemption is seen as government and province setting priority in food policy. To the urban consumer this is acceptable only as long as it doesn't cause a stir on the shelf'. Mr. Benson pointed out. Qucrstions from people at the meeting ranged from why the need for tax reform to respassers being hard to take care of. Some people felt there , was a thin line between a grant and taxes that in years ahead they woulcl lose ownership of the Ian d.$ Mr, Hannam pointed out that the precidencc in the courts concerning the payment of taxes is the lowest indicator of ownership. Land belongs to whoever is named on the deed" said Mr. Hannam. "As to the future the government could take over your land tomorrow. We can anticipate all kinds of fearful possibilities in ten years time. But who's to say what can happen", Mr. Hannam told the crowd. Garry Ginn, Warden for Huron County was present to comment on the need for grant reform so that townships would not be paying more. "The OFA proposal is acceptable to me as a farmer and a council official." said Mr. Ginn. Hobby farmers were also a subject of concern. A farmer is anyone producing over $2,000 in one year and is eligible for tax rebate. ''1 don't know what the government has in mind but they should raise 'costs' and have other criteria for determining farms" said Mr. Hannani. "The OfA is using scare tactics on the farmers" said Eileen Palmer , Godcrich deputy reeve who said she represented the urban resident. "1 support the market assessment and feel that the farmer arc capable of forming a decision and making up their own minds." Merle Gunby summed up "This is the best we have come up with yet. What's the alternative?" salD M. Gunby. "None have been suggested yet." The OFA needs to know the impact on the communities and has to date not replied formally to the government, Mr. Hannam said. "No more compromising" assured Mr. Hannam. "We are open to the direction of our membership". The Huron County Federation will take a vote at a later date as , to how they stand on the OFA proposals.
